Putin Sides with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President in Israeli/Hamas Conflict

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that he supports Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi’s approach to “normalizing the situation” in Gaza.

According to reports: “The Russian head of state underlined the need to stop the armed confrontation and called on the sides involved in the conflict to exercise restraint and stop military actions resulting in civilian deaths.”

No one knows how far Putin is willing to go in showing his solidarity with Morsi on this matter, but time will tell as Morsi is calling for international intervention.

Morsi and his government have made it clear that they believe the Israeli airstrikes on targets in Gaza represent “a blatant aggression against humanity.”
